Abstract
Many companies conducting research on state archives or administrative judgments require requesting exceptional access. Thus, for a request for access to ministerial archives that are not freely communicable for reasons such as the protection of medical confidentiality or national defense secrecy, the national archives service and the ministry concerned by the request will assess the guarantees presented by the researcher. The latter must then produce a speech demonstrating, in particular, his scientific integrity, using peer reviews or published articles based on similar data. Once access to these sources has been obtained, the use of the data by the researcher is also regulated by the authorities that granted access. For example, the Council of State changed the conditions of access to its own databases in 2018. Since then, the researcher wishing to study judgments rendered by administrative courts must undertake to, among other things, notify the Council of State fifteen days before any public dissemination of the work resulting from the data collected. Whether it is access to archives or administrative case law, the scientific integrity of the applicant is never explicitly mentioned in the procedures, but it is nevertheless this which is targeted to authorize access or supervise the use of the data collected. Thus, this contribution aims to question the control of scientific integrity which results from the limitations on access to sources of law.
